Yes, i read cocoa is iron-rich... We used to have some cacao trees where we picked some and sucked on the sweet white layer around the seed before these are air/sundried before grinding. We managed some fresh cocoa tableas we called them, for hot chocolate or that local glutenous rice porridge called champorado here. There was some simple photos and how to's of tablea i saw, but another time. Btw, speaking of Fe for anemia, would you care to share other health info you may have some time, whether in the heavenly recipes or even ladies forum. Thnx a lot.-Cocoa is rich in iron so it's great to boost your iron. Coffee blocks iron absorption so it's a really bad habit to have if you're anemic or anemia prone. I also eat an orange alongside my cocoa to boost iron uptake (by vitamin C and fructose in oranges).![]()

This thread is related to anything chocolate and cocoa related, and their benefits. Bring it on!
Btw, has anybody tried raw cocoa beans? Havent yet encountered that in my country. Is it similar to dark chocolate?
This looks like a floor tile. You could eat off it. It looks like it is dark chocolate. I might snip off a small piece.
